Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 183 The World of Film

The sudden dimming of the light, the eerily low temperature, and the video feed constantly playing on the television screen all gave Shao Feng a bad feeling.

As the village chief of Shaojia Village, Shao Feng may not know much about the supernatural, but he definitely knows more than the average person. He has heard about ghost movies and supernatural events in Dahang City more than once.

It is said that the paranormal event was spread through a movie, and everyone who saw the movie died.

Thinking about the strange situation in his home, Shao Feng felt a sudden sense of dread.

Although he had always emphasized the importance of believing in science and not being superstitious, and that those superstitious and monstrous ideas were feudal superstitions from the old society and the dregs of old thinking, when the strange phenomenon actually occurred in his own home, Shao Feng couldn't help but feel fear, and felt his original worldview gradually collapsing.

"Come on, Lele, stop eating. Dad will take you to the city for a big meal today. Lihua, stop fiddling with the TV. I have a feeling something's not right. Let's go to the city first."

Once he came to his senses, Shao Feng immediately stood up, picked up his son who was still shoveling food into his mouth from the stool, greeted his wife, and then grabbed the car keys from the table to head out.

"What's wrong? Why would you want to go out to eat for no reason? The food is already prepared. Besides, what's wrong with this?"

Zhou Lihua clearly didn't realize the meaning behind her husband Shao Feng's words, but she still put down the remote control and walked towards the TV, preparing to turn off the power directly.

"Don't go near the TV!"

Shao Feng, catching a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, was startled and immediately stopped him, saying, "Forget about the TV, let's get out of here..."

But before he could finish speaking, what happened next left him completely stunned.

On the television screen, three terrifying figures were rapidly approaching the screen in a bizarre manner, eventually crawling out of the LCD screen itself.

This scene had a huge visual impact on ordinary people, creating an atmosphere of terror that left Shao Feng's mind blank for a few seconds.

"There really are ghosts..."

A chill ran down Shao Feng's spine and straight to his head. His eyes widened in shock and disbelief. An inexplicable, cold aura instantly enveloped his body, freezing him in place.

"Ah~!"

At this moment, Zhou Lihua also came to her senses. Looking at the terrifying figure that was almost in front of her, she couldn't help but let out a sharp and terrified scream, her eyes filled with fear.

"Click, click, click-click..."

at the same time.

Strange noises echoed through the room.

The twisted joints of the three terrifying figures were gradually returning to normal, and the eerie sounds were the noises made as their joints reset.

Then they simultaneously stretched out their pale, blood-stained hands and reached out to grab Zhou Lihua, who was closest to them.

Seeing this, Zhou Lihua looked terrified, her eyes filled with despair. She wanted to escape, but her body was out of control, as if she had been put under a spell. She couldn't even make a sound. She was frozen in place, with only her eyes still able to see. Her other senses seemed to have disappeared.

It's not just her.

Shao Feng, standing at the doorway, was also frozen in place, able only to watch helplessly as this scene unfolded, as was his son Lele, whom he was holding in his arms.

Under the watchful eyes of the father and son.

The ghost's hand quickly touched Zhou Lihua's body.

For an instant.

Zhou Lihua felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

The body, which had been numb and out of control, suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, as if countless ice blades were scraping its flesh.

"Am I going to die? So what they said was true. Dahang City really is haunted, and it even appeared in my house..." At this moment, Zhou Lihua's heart calmed down, recalling what her colleagues at the company had said before.

Zhou Lihua's thoughts quickly came to a halt. The biting cold was not only harming her body, but it was also freezing her mind. Her consciousness was gradually being swallowed by darkness.

However, it was at this critical moment that...

A new anomaly has occurred.

The light, which had already dimmed due to the appearance of the vengeful ghost, became even dimmer, and the environment grew even colder.

The source of all this was some hazy, paper-ash-like gas.

As soon as these paper ash appeared, they began to float around the room. In reality, all the objects that touched these paper ash seemed to be assimilated, turning into a grayish color.

at the same time.

Shao Feng and his son in his arms regained their mobility, and their previously uncontrollable bodies returned to normal. Only Zhou Lihua, who was being attacked by a supernatural force, did not recover and remained frozen in place.

"This is……?"

A look of surprise flashed across Shao Feng's face, but he quickly realized that the most important thing to do at the moment was to put his son on the ground, tell Lele to run outside, and then turn around and run quickly towards where his wife Zhou Lihua was, wanting to snatch Zhou Lihua from the evil ghost and escape with her.

"If I were you, I would never try to snatch someone from a vengeful ghost."

suddenly.

A man's voice rang out from inside the house.

Suddenly, the once empty room was filled with people. Even Shao Feng, who had been watching the scene inside, didn't notice how these people had appeared. Yet, it didn't seem abrupt at all; it was as if these people had always been there, but he simply hadn't seen them before.

"Who are you?" Shao Feng asked instinctively, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui did not respond to him, but instead focused his gaze on the three terrifying figures that had been successfully suppressed to the side.

Yes.

At this moment, the vengeful ghosts had been suppressed. Beside them, three figures who looked exactly like Li Hui appeared, each grabbing the ghosts' necks. The supernatural power of the bus and the ghost messengers contained in their hands instantly suppressed the three terrifying figures.

"Are they not the real source of the vengeful spirit, but merely some kind of supernatural creation? And what are the appearances of these three..."

The moment he suppressed the three terrifying figures, Li Hui had already realized that they were not real vengeful ghosts, but rather ghost servants with supernatural powers. What truly caught Li Hui's attention were the appearances of the three ghost servants.

They were exactly the same as the three staff members who died in Zhoujia Village, as if they were carved from the same mold. The only difference was that the three ghost slaves looked more terrifying and their skin was paler. Apart from that, there was no difference.

"It seems that the formation of the ghost slaves in the 'Ghost Movie Incident' is somewhat special, just like the ghost slaves in the 'Ghost Pinch People Incident' that Yang Jian experienced in the original novel," Li Hui thought to himself.

The reason for this idea is that neither the "ghost strangling incident" that happened on the plane in the original work nor the "ghost movie incident" that Li Hui is currently encountering have disappeared, but the corresponding ghost slaves have been generated. Such ghost slaves are very rare in paranormal events.

The vast majority of ghost slaves are transformed from the corpses of ordinary people after they die. Very few corpses remain in place, but there are situations where ghost slaves are exactly the same as those who died.

Because most ghost slaves are ultimately just corpses with supernatural powers. Even the most powerful ghost slave, the starving ghost, cannot create its own ghost slaves out of thin air; they need to be nurtured by living people.

But that's not the point.

The special nature of the ghost slave only surprised Li Hui somewhat; what truly caught his attention were the real vengeful ghosts.

"Since all three of them are ghost slaves, then the real source is still in the television?"

Think of this.

Li Hui's gaze shifted from the three ghost slaves to the black-and-white LCD TV on the screen, with an old forest as the background.

"Are you human or ghosts?"

However, at this moment, seeing that no one responded to him, and that the three vengeful ghosts that had appeared first were being held by the neck by three identical, equally eerie figures, while his wife Zhou Lihua remained motionless, Shao Feng suppressed his terror and asked loudly.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui remained silent, instead gesturing for the ghost beside him to respond, while he himself continued to examine the images on the LCD TV screen.

Seeing this, the ghost beside him spoke up.

"From your perspective, most of us, like those three ghost slaves, are products of the supernatural, and therefore not considered living people. As for that woman, is she your wife?"

Seeing Shao Feng nod, the ghost continued, "Don't worry, she's not dead, she's just unconscious. It's just bad luck that you encountered a supernatural event. If there's nothing else, take your wife and leave. As for us, don't worry about us. We'll leave after we deal with this supernatural event."

Upon hearing this, Shao Feng's face lit up with joy.

He didn't fully understand the terms "ghost slave" and "supernatural product" mentioned by the deceased, but he got a general idea from their literal meaning.

What truly delighted Shao Feng was that his wife was alright, and judging from what the ghost said, their appearance was to deal with the vengeful spirit that had appeared in his home, which put Shao Feng at ease.

After all, the paranormal event happened in their own home. Even if they managed to escape this time, they might still be targeted by vengeful ghosts in the future. The best way to truly feel at ease is to completely eliminate the vengeful ghost that caused all of this.

Having just been affected by supernatural forces, Shao Feng knew how helpless ordinary people like them were in the face of vengeful ghosts, unable to even move. Now, a group of people with supernatural powers had appeared, but who came to deal with vengeful ghosts. This gave him hope that the vengeful ghosts could be dealt with.

Without lingering, at the prompting of the departed spirit, Shao Feng stepped forward, picked up his wife Zhou Lihua, who had fallen into a coma, and ran outside to find his son.

at the same time.

Yang Xiao, who had also been observing for a long time, frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. He then said with a thoughtful expression, "If I remember correctly, this kind of supernatural event seems to have happened before."

"I remember when I first joined the Ghost Post Office, I encountered a similar paranormal event during a mail delivery mission. However, too much time has passed, and I didn't confront the vengeful ghost that caused that event directly, so I'm not entirely sure if they're the same thing. But even if they're not the same ghost, they're probably pieces of each other's paranormal puzzles..."

As Yang Xiao recounted his story, a long-buried and unknown past was revealed to Li Hui.

"The same supernatural incident spread the curse in the same way, but at that time, television ownership was not high, and very few families could afford a television. Most people had radios, so the number of people who were killed was not large."

Yang Xiao continued, "Although I did not have direct contact with the vengeful ghost that was the source of that supernatural event, I do know how to eventually imprison it."

"That vengeful ghost doesn't exist in the real world, but inside the television. You can never imprison it outside, you can't even touch it. Only by entering the television and finding the real source can you find a way to imprison it!"

"However, entering the television is very risky. If the source of the evil spirit cannot be successfully imprisoned, one will be lost in the world of the ghost television and unable to get out. Even the most skilled ghost controllers may be trapped and die!"

After he finished speaking, Yang Xiao looked at Li Hui quietly, waiting for his decision. After all, whether or not to appear on television was ultimately up to Li Hui. Yang Xiao was just sharing the information he knew.

"In that case, let's go into the television and deal with that vengeful ghost that's the source!"

After listening to Yang Xiao's words, Li Hui spoke calmly, without any fear on his face, seemingly unconcerned about the danger of being trapped and killed in the television world that Yang Xiao mentioned.

that's the truth.

With the ability to travel freely even to real haunted places, how could a television world constructed by vengeful ghosts possibly trap him?

Li Hui is a decisive person who does what he wants to do.

Immediately, a hazy cloud of ashes drifted in, and the ghostly aura carried Li Hui and the others toward the LCD TV screen.

The moment Li Hui's ghostly domain came into contact with the LCD TV screen, a strange phenomenon occurred: the dark ghostly domain extended directly into the TV.

Soon, Li Hui and his group disappeared from the room.

at the same time.

More than thirty figures appeared eerily on the screen of the LCD TV hanging on the wall. The leader was Li Hui, and behind him stood Yang Xiao and a group of dead souls.
